I have just upgraded my work laptop and before I go off and Google later tonight (tea to cook now), I wondered if someone like Staurtli, Rattle or Zero already know the answer.
After turning off hibernate first (removing the old 4Gb file), I stuck in the new 8Gb memory for the laptop. Defragged the disk and turned on hibernate. The hibernate file created is just under 6Gb. What about the rest of the RAM? Not tried to hibernate yet... in fact I might stop using hibernate because writing and reading a hibernate file of this size on a fully encrypted hard drive might be slower than booting (3Gb was on the old laptop)!
I know the laptop only sees 7.8Gb due to the graphic card on board stealing some of the RAM.
Any ideas. I'll Google it later. But there must be a few on here with 8Gb or more of RAM using Vista or Windows 7.
